Poor Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. 

The DA, who has been consumed by her irrational hatred of President Donald Trump for God knows how long, has been ordered to open her checkbook for intentionally violating Georgia's open records laws in the TDS-riddled prosecution of Trump.

OK, I'm just kidding about the "poor" part. 

Call it poetic justice or whatever you choose, but Willis's irrational pursuit of Trump, including the irrational claims and charges she made, was and remains inexcusable.

So kudos to Fulton County Superior Court Judge Rachel Krause, who on Friday ordered Willis to pay $54,264 in attorneys' fees and litigation costs after "intentionally" failing to provide records requested by Ashleigh Merchant, the attorney who filed the motion to disqualify Willis from prosecuting Trump on charges of allegedly interfering with the 2020 presidential election.

Merchant said she was “completely stonewalled” by Willis’s office, beginning around September 2023, when she began looking into the DA’s romantic relationship with Nathan Wade, the former lead prosecutor on the election interference case, which became the subject of a days-long evidentiary hearing that drew international media attention.

As reported by CBS affiliate WSB-TV in Atlanta, Judge Krause gave Willis 30 days to pay the judgment. 

Here's more:

Citing state statute ... Krause ruled that “an agency or custodian of public records has three business days, upon receipt of an ORA request, to determine whether and how to produce or permit copying and inspection of the requested records.”

Krause said in the Final Judgment Order filed Friday that the DA’s office and Willis had failed to comply with the records laws, saying that the “failure to comply was not substantially justified,” and no records were made available.

At hearings over the records being provided, the judge said that “through the Open Records custodian, Dexter Bond - were openly hostile to counsel for Plaintiff, Ms. Merchant, and testified that Ms. Merchant’s requests were handled differently than other requests.” The judge’s order cites multiple examples of taking a different process for requests by Merchant compared to others, in a way indicating “lack of good faith.”

In a related development, lawyers for Willis said she will release documents related to her investigation of Trump to a Georgia Senate committee.

As a refresher, Willis, in 2021, launched an investigation into allegations that Trump and his allies attempted to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia after Joe Biden had been declared the winner in the state. Subsequently, a grand jury absurdly indicted Trump and 18 others in August 2023 on multiple charges, including racketeering and conspiracy.

Now president again, Trump is immune from prosecution for the next four years, and Willis has been rebuked by the courts as she continues to fight to keep the case alive. Let's hope Willis is forced to continue burning through her money. We can call it "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."

Meanwhile, let's also hope President Trump continues to make America great again.
